MR. BULLOCK, British Consul at Tientsin, has given judgment for the plaintiff, with costs, in a case in which Mr. Nils Muller sued Messrs. J. Watts and H. Crowlie for Tis. 561.50, com mission at the rate of 23 per cent. on the amount for which the Peiho Tag and Lighter Cerpany's fleet was sold to the Taku Tug and Lighter trying to arrange the sale, the buyers offering Tis. 20,000 and the sellers asking Tis 25,000, which offer was ultimately reduced to TIs. 24,000. The plaintiff endeavoured un- successfully to bring them together at Tis 22.500, and then returned to Shanghai, and soon afterwards the parties came to terms at the last quoted price. Mr. Möller demanded his com. mission, which was refused; but the Consul has decided in his favor a decision, we consider that could never be upheld in a properly con- stituted court of law, When Mr. Möller, after falling to effect a sale, returned to Shanghai, he put himself entirely out of court in any claim for commission-unless he had a special agreement. and as that is not in evidence, the Consul's judgment is simply ridiculous.
Iris not always safe, the N. C. Daily News remarks, to judge the condition of a district by the price of grain. Rice at Tientain is now held 7.50, the normal price being $2.80 to $4. The for from $4.10 to $6 per pical, and may go to picul of rice in Tientsin is 160 cattles) This advance is simply the result of a corner, the stock of rice in Tientsin being enormous; but the holders are speculating on the improbability that any more will arrive from the South this winter.
